About this cabin rental
The Kist is an ideal way to get away from it all. It is set in 6.5 acres of garden and grounds and surrounded by fields. It is entirely self-contained and no-one will visit unless you invite them. Our house is 100m down the garden from The Kist. We work from home so will usually be around if you need us, but otherwise will leave you to enjoy your stay. It is 3.5 miles from the nearest village (Balfron).
The Kist - an historic term for a linen box or treasure chest - is a stunning contemporary lodge set in private grounds in a beautiful rural location. A large deck area and a panoramic window in the main room allow visitors to enjoy the country experience whatever the weather. You may well find deer grazing in the garden of a morning.
The Kist is set in glorious countryside, but is close enough to Glasgow to enjoy all the cultural and shopping attractions of a big city. Some of Scotland's most spectacular countryside, including Loch Lomond, the Trossachs and the West Highland Way, are nearby. Historic Stirling is within easy reach and the Castle is definitely worth a look. Both Edinburgh and Perth are about an hour away by car.
The stylish glass fronted open plan living area includes a fully fitted kitchen complete with integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher, wine chiller and washing machine.
The large decked area to the front is the perfect way to enjoy sunny evenings and yes, there is a barbecue if eating al fresco is your thing.
There are two double bedrooms, both en-suite, with one set up as a twin room. The master bedroom has a "P" shaped bath and Mira shower. The twin room has a Coram quad shower and roomy walk in wardrobe. It is set up with twin beds.
The modern lodge offers all the advantages of a new home, in a lovely setting. Practical, cosy and stylish, you'll love being 'Kist'.

Nice property . Comfy clean beds, bathrooms clean too. Smelt dog pee when sitting on fabric sofa and noticed wet patch on side but attempt had been used to try and clean it but still smelt and my dogs went straight to it but we put pants on our chihuahuas. Big stain on rug in livingroom which I gave a scrub but still slightly there. Looked like someone spilt something but host should have used a carpet cleaner or just get rid of rug. The fabric sofa needs to be replaced too as this isn't suitable if people bring dogs. The kitchen panels are warped and need replacing or re glued ?. The kitchen was clean and well stocked too . Appliances a bit complicated to use but found the instructions for them in green folder. The sliding main doors are very stiff and struggled to open and shut even my husband found them hard to move.Very peaceful place to stay but host never came near which was a bit rude but got a wave from the guy who we think was her husband ?. Would stay again as peaceful.
